Default Rosslyn Hotel , Key Fob

Hello Pappy, while out on mini hunt today I found this key fob, From the Rosslyn Hotel In Los Angeles, California. I did some research and found out it was called The Million Dollar Hotel, and has been closed for over 70 years, It is Now called the Frontier Hotel and is a flop house. Bill told me there is a movie with Mel Gibson in it, Called the Million Dollar Hotel. My Question is do you think it has any value. I found an article all about the Hotel By Wim Wenders,with Interesting fact about the hotel and all it's glory. Thank you

Wow! That's really neat, GG I just saw that movie on network TV a few weekends ago. It was about a bunch of "weird" people living in this hotel and Mel was an FBI agent who was by far much weirder. He was investigating a murder at the hotel. I didn't get to see the end of it, but really wanted to.

Great find. I sure hope it holds some worth.

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!

GG, first of all I hope that you and Gordon are doing well. Yes, I would think it had some value...What I don't know but coupled along with it's age and where it is from it should hold some value to a collector. I'll do a little checking around with some friends and some places on-line and let you know what I find out. Really NICE FIND !
